The New Moghul House - Changkat Bukit Bintang

Not one of our more successful outings in terms of new places to try frankly. Just a little history on this north indian place.... There used to be another Moghul House which we loved on Changkat Bukit Bintang that re-located to Changkat Tong Shin. After a couple of months at the new location, it closed and we never knew what became of it. They had a steady flow of customers (combination of both tourists and expats who lived in the area) in the old location. With the new location, the restaurant never really took off. Anyway, recently, the new Moghul House opened in Changkat Bukit Bintang. I assumed the management in the old place decided to move back to the more successful location. Read a review on the place, apparently it has been featured in lonely planet's guide to Malaysia as a reasonably priced good food place to go. So, I thought it was worth another visit....

In summary, we were very disappointed with the food. We had 2 different types of naan (cheese & garlic), palak paneer (spinach & cheese), an eggplant dish and a mutton dish (both indian names I cannot recall). The naans were crisp and thin which were good. We weren't so keen on the other dishes though. It was unfortunate. Service was very courteous and helpful, atmosphere and decor - a vast improvement from the last time. Shame about the food. I still think places like Saffron (Sri Hatamas), although technically not exactly north indian is a lot better and more reasonably priced than Moghul House... the hunt for a good reasonably priced north indian place continues.

To note: Other exceptional north indian steeper priced restaurants in town can be found at Taj in Crown Princess Hotel, Passage Thru' India & Bombay Palace (opposite The American Embassy) also located on Jalan Tun Razak.

Price 3/5, Taste 2/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Service 3/5
